MP Dr. Maryam Al-Dhaen affirmed that Bahrain stands as a unique model of tolerance, both domestically, as enshrined by the Constitution and National Action Charter, and internationally, in its pursuit of peace and tolerance.

She emphasised Bahrain’s commitment to human rights treaties and international agreements. MP Al-Dhaen said the vision of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa has contributed significantly to bolstering Bahrain’s global position through continuous efforts to promote peace and tolerance, integral to comprehensive development.

She added: “The Kingdom of Bahrain has presented many initiatives, such as the East-West Dialogue for Human Coexistence, in addition to the launch of the Bahrain Declaration for Interfaith Dialogue and Peaceful Coexistence, the establishment of the King Hamad Global Center for Interfaith Dialogue and Peaceful Coexistence, the King Hamad Chair for Interfaith Dialogue and Peaceful Coexistence, and others.

They contribute to strengthening policies and practices aimed at spreading the values of peace, tolerance and coexistence.” She praised the government’s efforts to promote dialogue and coexistence between all religions, cultures, and civilisations, ensuring the respect for rights, freedoms, and the preservation of human and cultural heritage.

MP Al-Dhaen highlighted that these endeavours are rooted in Bahrain’s rich cultural and humanitarian heritage, promoting the values of peace, tolerance, and coexistence among diverse cultures, religions, and social entities.
